This article deciphers and analyzes a  previously unknown Sassanian mint location represented by the inscription WLČ., based on the analysis of a Middle Persian inscription found in Persepolis, and on the linguistic changes that occurred during the transition to modern Persian. Evidence is presented to show that this previously unknown Sassanian mint designation corresponds to the modern-day ci...

Monitoring-Oriented Programming (MOP) is a formal framework for software development and analysis. It aims at reducing the gap between formal specification and implementation via runtime monitoring. In MOP, the developer specifies desired properties using definable specification formalisms, along with code to execute when properties are violated or validated, which can be used not only to repor...

A formal framework for software development and analysis is presented, which aims at reducing the gap between formal specification and implementation by integrating the two and allowing them together to form a system. It is called monitoring-oriented programming (MOP), since runtime monitoring is supported and encouraged as a fundamental principle. Monitors are automatically synthesized from fo...

Abstract: In this work, a nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem involving generalized invexity with cone constraints and Applications (for short, (MOP)) is considered. The Kuhn-Tucker necessary and sufficient conditions for (MOP) are established by using a generalized alternative theorem of Craven and Yang. The relationship between weakly efficient solutions of (MOP) and vector valued s...

lent discharges and it is further added, that ?' in the male this is frequently attended with an inflammation of the testicle, .and in some cases is followed by symptoms referable to the joints and eye." Though in the present day this primary affection of the generative organs has the popular name of Sozdk, and the same name is given to it by the learned writers in Persian or Urdu, such a disea...

Modern Persian permits coda clusters, many of which violate the Sonority Sequencing Principle. In a syllable counting task, Persian speakers consistently perceived clusters in CVCC target items as monosyllabic, whereas English speakers generally perceived clusters existing in English as monosyllabic but those not existing in English as bi-syllabic. Moreover, the latter were perceived as monosyl...

Background and purpose - Large metal-on-metal (MoM) articulations are associated with metal wear and corrosion, leading to increased metal ion concentrations and unacceptable revision rates. There are few comparative studies of 28-mm MoM articulations with conventional metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) couplings. We present a long-term follow-up of a randomized controlled trial comparing MoM versus M...

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an important second-line therapy for graft-versus-host disease. A central therapeutic mechanism is the induction of immune tolerance through apoptosis in patient's leukocytes, caused by ex vivo incubation with 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and subsequent UVA irradiation. We hypothesized that different 8-MOP incubation times and an additional 8-MOP removal step ...
